Pulled Pork Sliders-
A refreshing alternative to sugary bottled BBQ sauce, this version gets its sweetness from apricot preserves. The mouthwatering mixture isn't just suited to sliders: It also makes a tasty filling for tacos.
Recipe Ingredients
1/2 cup apricot preserves
1 Tbsp cider vinegar
1 red onion, sliced
2 1/2 lb boneless pork shoulder, trimmed
2 tsp ground cumin
Kosher salt and pepper
8 small rolls, split
8 leaves green-leaf lettuce
Potato chips, for serving
Recipe Preparation
1. In a 5- to 6-qt slow cooker, whisk together the apricot preserves and vinegar; stir in the onion.
2. Season the pork with the cumin and 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper. Nestle the pork among the onions and cook, covered, until pork is tender and easily pulls apart, on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 5 to 6 hours.
3. Using 2 forks, shred the pork and stir it into the cooking liquid. Form sliders with the rolls, lettuce and pork. Serve with potato chips, if desired.
